Stewart Francis - is probably best known as one of the recent stars of BBC's 'Mock the Week' with his killer one-liners; and has also written for and appeared on '8 Out of 10 Cats', 'The Omid Djalili Show' and 'Not Going Out.' (www.stewartfrancis.com)
"Stewart Francis' gags are razored-down one-liners with disarming set-ups lurching into twisted and bitter pay-offs, drier than a Manhattan martini" - Scotland On Sunday
"It's rare to be left with such a sense of admiration for a comedian's writing talents" - Edinburgh Evening News
"You'll want to see him over and over again to catch the jokes you missed because you were laughing so hard" - Toronto Star
"The highlight of the evening was Stewart Francis from Canada. He had the audience in stitches, just waiting in anticipation for his next one-liner." - Cape Times (Smirnoff Comedy Festival, Cape Town, South Africa)
Alfie Moore - a serving police sergeant seen most recently on ITV's 'Show Me the Funny.' (www.alfiemoore.com)
"Alfie is one of the most original and distinctive acts working today. His many tales of life on the force are both hilarious and utterly convincing." - SceneFirst.
Sully O'Sullivan - a multi award winning exponent of interactive stand-up. Sully has performed in New Zealand, Canada, the USA, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Oman, the UK and across Mainland Europe. (www.sullyosullivan.com)
"Had the audience showing their appreciation with fits of laughter and applause." - Channel4.com.
Mundo Jazz - a spoof world music artist whose mission is "to teach us about peace, the environment, racial harmony and love." It’s unfortunate, then, that he knows absolutely nothing. (www.mundojazz.co.uk)
"A sort of live, Latino Spinal Tap. Very, very , very funny." - The Daily Express
Anthony J Brown - back by popular demand after being a late replacement in 2010 and taking the evening by storm. (www.comedycv.co.uk/anthonyjbrown)
